Noland Arbaugh, the first patient to receive a Neuralink brain-computer interface, initially experienced significant improvements, such as moving cursors and playing games using his mind. However, complications arose when the device's threads began retracting, causing a loss of control and functionality. Despite these setbacks, Neuralink has adjusted their algorithms, improving the device's performance, and Arbaugh remains hopeful, continuing his participation in the experimental trial.
